Exceptional!
3-day, 2 Nights Maasai Mara Safari (Royal River Zebra Camp)
Communication: Communication with Lewis was mostly easy, reliable and fairly quick. He accommodated all of my requests without issues. We even got a complementary visit to the Giraffe Center.
Transport: We were taken to Mara by a normal car with a kind and friendly driver (Nicholas), we didn't know any details beforehand. He was an excellent driver but the roads to Mara are horrible - the ride took ages and it was quite exhausting; I would highly recommend taking the 4x4 wheel jeep! On the way back we were taken with the Safari Jeep with our guide and the difference was extreme (took us 2h less).
Guide: Our guide David was exceptional! Funny, clever, kind and highly competent! He easily accommodated all of our wishes (safari times, animals we liked to see) and showed us awesome hidden gems. He could answer all of our questions, always tried to get us the best spots at crowded places and communicated a lot with other guides and rangers to offer us a variety of sightings. We saw all of the animals imaginable (Leopard, Cheetah, Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Hippos, Crocodiles...) - only one missing was a Rhino which is very hard to find. We even did a short walking tour with a separate guide on the Mara River to see the Hippo Families and the crocodiles up close. Sunrise and Sunset game drives were incredible! On our way back to Nairobi we even stoped to have some Nyama Choma for lunch. We got along quite very well, it nearly felt like traveling with a friend! :)
Accommodation: We booked Zebra Plains Mara Camp which belongs to a company that has 8 different camps in close proximity. However, we were upgraded to Royal River Zebra Camp - it was unbelievable. This camp only hosts 25 people in total and is a true gem. Its close to a river so we also had the chance to spot animals right from the lodge. We saw a buffalo sleeping and a hippo grassing in the morning. We sadly missed the giraffes and the cheetah because we were out on a drive. We had an incredible "room" (it was basically an apartment). Spacious, calm, clean - an outdoor bathtub, an outdoor shower, a small cabana. The staff was also amazing - chatty, helpful and friendly at all times. Food is a set menu but there is a variety of different options and they were all very tasty!
Overall we couldn't be happier!!

Fantastic experience with Unscripted Safaris
I had an outstanding experience with Unscripted Safaris on their Nairobi safari tour. From start to finish, everything was well organized, seamless, and enjoyable.
A special thank you to Davis, who was an exceptional guide. He was friendly, professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing information about the wildlife. His expertise made the experience both educational and fun, and he went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable visit.
The airport pickup and hotel drop-off were smooth and convenient, and the entire tour felt personalized and stress-free.
An out-of-this-world experience thanks to David! 1000% recommended
Our time in Masai Mara was truly incredible, literally from another planet! A huge part of that was our guide, David. His dedication and attention to detail were wonderful; he went above and beyond every single second to make sure we had the absolute best time. He truly gave us one of the greatest experiences of our lives. I recommend him and Unscripted Safaris a thousand percent!
Our operator and driver was David. It was great. He knew all the tricks to get the best views
Our 1-day stay felt like a week long adventure, all thanks to our driver, David. He was fantastic, friendly and highly attentive. He knew all the tricks to maximize our time and ensured we saw every animal possible.
The Little Zebra hotel was top. The staff was incredibly kind, the location is beautiful and you can even spot crocodiles right from the terrace tables while you relax. 10/10 experience

Unforgettable experience!
Our family recently completed a safari with Unscripted Safaris, and the experience exceeded all expectations.
From the very beginning, Lewis was highly professional, responsive, and helpful throughout the planning process. He patiently answered all our questions, accommodated our requests, and ensured that every detail of the trip was well organized.
A special thank you goes to our guide, David, who truly made our safari unforgettable. Traveling with a toddler can be challenging, but David went above and beyond to accommodate our family's needs. He was flexible with schedules, patient, and always made sure we were comfortable while still providing an incredible wildlife experience.
David's knowledge of the Masai Mara, wildlife behavior, and local ecosystem was exceptional. He was able to spot animals from remarkable distances and shared fascinating information throughout the journey. His professionalism, safe driving, and friendly personality made us feel at ease at all times.
We highly recommend Unscripted Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organized, professional, and family-friendly safari in Kenya. We would not hesitate to book with them again in the future.

Excellent
David Njoroge was a great tour guide. His knowledge of the Kenyan Culture, Geography, all the places we visited - Maasai, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha was top class. Having been an ex veterinarian, he had good knowledge of the animals with the Game Reserves as well. Highly recommend Unscripted Yours and David Njoroge.

Unforgettable safari! Exceptional planning, amazing wildlife sightings, and David was outstanding
Our 6-night, 7-day safari with Unscripted Safaris was truly one of the best family holidays we have ever had. Traveling as two adults and a child, we wanted an experience that was enjoyable, comfortable, and memorable—and it exceeded all our expectations.
Everything was organized so smoothly from start to finish, which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy the adventure. Every lodge, transfer, and game drive was thoughtfully planned, and we always felt well taken care of.
A special and heartfelt thank you to our guide, David. He was absolutely amazing and played a huge part in making this trip so special. His knowledge, experience, and passion for wildlife were evident from day one. No matter how early the start or how long the drive, he always made sure we had the best possible safari experience.
David went out of his way to help us spot animals and ensured we never missed a sighting. His ability to find wildlife was incredible, and thanks to him, we were fortunate to see so many amazing animals and create memories that will stay with us forever.
What stood out even more was the genuine care he showed throughout the trip. He paid attention to every little detail, made sure we were comfortable at all times, and was always patient, friendly, and positive. By the end of the trip, he felt less like a guide and more like a friend.
Thank you, David, for your dedication, kindness, and for making our safari so unforgettable. You are truly an exceptional guide and a wonderful person. We are also very grateful to Unscripted Safaris for putting together such a fantastic experience. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safari that is both well-organized and deeply memorable.

Unscripted works well
experience of a lifetime. Everything was exceptionally well organized, and the wildlife sightings exceeded all our expectations.
A special thanks to our guide, Benard Jack, whose experience, dedication, and deep knowledge of the Maasai Mara made this safari unforgettable. It was because of Benald's expertise and tracking skills that we were able to see the entire Big Five – Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo, and Rhino.
Benard knows the Maasai Mara exceptionally well and took us into remote core areas where few vehicles go, giving us a unique and adventurous safari experience away from the crowds. His understanding of animal behavior, habitats, and daily movements was remarkable. Every sighting became more meaningful because of the interesting insights he shared about each animal and its lifestyle.
Even in challenging situations, Benard remained calm, professional, and focused on ensuring our safety and enjoyment. His passion for wildlife and commitment to providing the best possible safari experience were evident throughout the trip.
I highly recommend Unscripted Safaris, and especially guide Benard Jack, to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable African safari. Thanks to Benald, we achieved our dream of seeing the Big Five and experienced parts of the Maasai Mara that many visitors never get to see.

A huge thank you to Lewis for the excellent planning and seamless organization. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment of the adventure.
Special appreciation goes to our guide, Simon, who made this experience exceptional. His knowledge of the wildlife, keen eye for spotting animals, and genuine passion for nature made each game drive exciting and enriching. Thanks to him, we were able to see an incredible variety of animals and learn so much about the ecosystem.
The three days felt perfectly balanced – full of breathtaking sights, yet never rushed. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and we always felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.
We highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and truly memorable experience in the Masai Mara. Thank you again for everything!
